Playback with conductive fabric sensors for Trill Craft

Nicola_W

Hi! I'm using conductive fabric sensors with Trill Craft. It's a prototype so the sensors are hooked up to Trill via the Trill Craft breakout with snaps and then connected with hook up wire to another snap on the sensor

at present. I've got some issues with playback. The samples are triggered fine but they playback with a ticking sound, plus I can't overlap them, I can just play them individually. My messages are 'Underrun detected: 1 blocks dropped
Your code is printing to the console too quickly. Check your audio thread for print messages.' Any thoughts would be really appreciated 🙂

It sounds like your samples may be triggering multiple times for each new touch. Also be aware that -unless they are shielded- cables will normally be part of the sensing surface, which may induce unexpected behaviour.

How are you playing the samples? What programming language and what code are you using?

giuliomoro thanks for reply. Yes the cables are not shielded so well. I might have to rethink, spacing them out helps a bit. I’ve adapted the pure data example, pd craft, and using own samples loaded into the ide

You may need to provide your full code to help troubleshooting this. Or even better, reduce the patch to the minimum set od objects that is enough to reproduce the issue.

giuliomoro ok sure thing, really appreciate, I’ll have a go at preparing it tomorrow!

giuliomoro I'm thinking I should make improvements to the shielding and resew the breakout. As this might well sort it out. I'll get on with that for now. Will send code if that doesn't do it.
